Outstanding. Self-indulgent ignorant and oblivious - they epitomise the failings of humanity.

I think a lot of people know that something is seriously wrong, but they don't know what to do about it, at least not that doesn't come at a higher price then they are willing or able to pay, like burning yourself to death or going off to the woods and living on roots and acorns. Many of them have tried voting, leafleting, writing to the editor or their congressperson, contributing to the cause, volunteering at the co-op, whatever: nothing works. As the archabomination Biden said, "Nothing fundamental will change."

But I suppose a lot of people are thinking about it. Some of them are going to be pretty focused. After all, "If they can do it to them, they can do it to you." The enemy is in the field; he may be momentarily triumphant, but he's also visible.
